So recently, there have been some cheap GTX 960 4GB cards on ebay and they look really dodgy. What do you guys think? A few sellers have sold heaps and it would be awesome if it was legit hahaha.

Yeah fair enough. These just don't look legit at all and I am definitely steering clear of these.
Yeah, we've seen these before.
They purposely state GTX 960 and put in all the proper specs. Later, they ship without a box (just some bubble wrap) with the card and a CD. And its a tiny graphics card. When you read it you realise it is a GT 960. It's not a GTX, in fact, these cards pretty pointless when you have Intel's Iris iGPUs.
Here, I found the scammer:

It's a (Chinese Branded) Manli GT 960 graphics card, notice the 4 fake reviews, as I suspected ; )
Super dodgy and not worth the risk IMO. GTX 960s are already pretty cheap without taking a punt.
Sellers have good feedback, as a buyer you're pretty covered on eBay no?
If it's really cheap i'd go for it. Doesn't seem to be a fraudulent seller.
May be a job lot of used GPUs from China mining company? :P
What reference cards are they even?
I’ve seen similar to this before, either here on on reddit, general consensus seemed to be to avoid at all costs.
I personally wouldn’t touch any non-branded graphics card. No clarity on warranty and they likely get the last pick for GPU which means they probably perform poorly if at all.
Just like you wouldn’t buy the cheapest model of a car on Carsales, don’t buy the cheapest graphics cards. =P
